3. speaker systems are acoustic suspension and bass reflex The acoustic suspension enclosure commonly referred to as a sealed box relies upon the changing air pressure in a tightly sealed chamber for its operation The bass reflex commonly referred to as a ported enclosure uses a ventinserted into the box which takes over for the speaker ata desired tuned frequency which isdetermined by the internal volume of the enclosure and the size of the vent used The Punch Power Woofers will yield optimum performance in a small ported enclosure Usinc THE Punch Power 5 Speakers are builtin different sizes to optimize their performance in different frequency bands Crossovers are used to route the different frequency bands for each speaker There are two operational types of crossover active and passive An active crossover is an electronic filter which is placed before the amplifier and separates the signal fed to different amplifiersin the system A passive crossover is positioned 2 after the amplifier and separates the signal fed to each speaker in the system Activecrossoversoffertheaccuracy and flexibilityneeded for asophisticated system and are used in complex multiple amp designs Passive crossovers capacitors and inductors allow the use of mul tiple speakers in a simple system which can easily be expanded over time We recommend using a 6dB per octave 100Hz low pass crossover for the Punch Power Woofers when used with a passiv
4. volume The speaker itself also reduces the internal volume The amountofair displaced by each model is listed on the specification sheet and should also be subtracted from the gross volume calculation BUILDING ENCLOSURE To work properly the wallsof the enclosure mustbe rigid and notflex when subjected to the high pressures generated by the speaker s operation We recommend using 3 4 thick high density particle board or medium density fiberboard MDF which are available at most building supply stores For a large box internal bracing is needed for reinforcement The joints should be glued use non flammable carpenter glue and secured with either nails or screws Internally the joints should be sealed with silicon to prevent air leaking Because the high density particle board and M DF are porous materials it is suggested to seal the outside enclosure walls with polyurethane Ideally the port should be located on the same face as the speaker and positioned at least one port diameter away from the side and back walls In Conclusion Special care has been taken to ensure your satisfaction with the Punch Power Woofers The materials and workmanship have been carefully selected to guarantee performance equal to the needs of the most demanding conditions If you have any further questions or advanced system needs your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer will be happy to assist you ZE 6Z 9 ZE 6Z 9 ZE 6T S ZE 6T S Cu daa un ZE 6Z
